VEGAN ATTORNEY PETITIONS NEW YORK TO SHUT DOWN AND BAN ALL LIVE ANIMAL WET MARKETS

CBS Exclusive - Lawyer Takes on Wet Markets

Carissa Kranz, founding attorney for the Law Offices of Carissa Kranz, is fighting to ban wet markets in New York, where there are currently over 80 “wet markets” according to PETA. As cited on CBS news recently, numbers now reflect that the coronavirus may be past its peak in several U.S. states, but the question as to how to prevent future pandemics remains.

Kranz calls these unregulated slaughterhouses “hotbeds for contagion,” and is deeply concerned that in the midst of a global pandemic, thousands of these operations are still active from Illinois to California.

“It’s called a wet market because it is wet with blood, urine, guts, feces,” Kranz explains. “As a lawyer, I represent injured clients.Clients include people and animals. Live animal wet markets cause injury to both. Not only is it cruel and inhumane, it’s a public health crisis that will likely lead to the next pandemic,” says Carissa Kranz.

Kranz says that at this rate, another coronavirus could originate in New York City as easily as the one in Wuhan began.

“SARS was started at a live animal wet market in China,” Kranz said. It is also believed that MERS is of a zoonotic origin.

“While New York is the epicenter for the coronavirus right now, the reality is, New York is also a possible epicenter for a relapse or a new contagion to be born,” she said.

As legislators on both sides of the isle called on the “WHO” to ban these wet markets across the world, Kranz is petitioning to end them in New York, where she worries they could slip through the cracks.

Kranz officially filed a petition for rule-making in New York last week. She received thousands of signatures from New Yorkers who support her cause and is still waiting for a response.

“It would be wonderful for our countries around the world to unite on this issue. However, even if they unite on this issue, it would be almost impossible for us to enforce it. What we can enforce are bans on our own soil,” she said.

Tomorrow, Kraz will be discussing the same topic on Jane Unchained News with many of the other leading leaders on the front lines working to shut these down.

The Law Offices of Carissa Kranz is based in Palm Beach Gardens. The firm has offices in Florida, New York, DC and California. The firm also manages BeVeg International, the leading vegan certification firm as a legal practice area.
